Sushi means “sour rice”. The Japanese dish is prepared by cooking rice in vinegar.

In addition to the the rice, sushi can include other ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, and seafood.

Raw fish can be included with sushi. However, raw fish or other meat served without rice is actually called sashimi.

Myth #5: Humans only have five senses

Seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting are the main senses that are taught at an early age.

But did you know there are anywhere from nine to twenty other human senses?

Some that you may recognize include:

Sense of time (being able to have an “idea” of the time or time that has past without actually looking at a clock)

Sense of temperature (your body being able to generally recognize heat and cold)

Balance/Equilibrioception (the body’s ability to keep you stable and sense movement like acceleration)

Sense of limb position/Nociception (knowing where your body parts are without looking at them)(ex: closing your eyes and being able to touch your nose with an outstretched hand)

And the list goes on.

Myth #6: Napoleon was short

Napoleon Bonaparte was a french military leader and eventually Emperor of France. He is infamously known as a short man.

In fact, having a “Napoleon Complex”, which is named after him, describes a person who is driven to better themselves simply to hide parts of themselves that they do not like. This is also improperly known as “Short Man Syndrome”.

The funny thing is that Napoleon was not a short man by his time’s standards. At about 5’6″ or 5’7″, he was actually taller than the average man.

To give you a better idea, here is a few men that are very close to Napoleon’s height:

Kanye West: 5’8″

Usher: 5’8″

Josh Hutcherson/Petta from Hunger Games Series: 5’7

Bruno Mars: 5’5″

Today’s average male height is roughly 5’9″. Because the average height of human beings has steadily increased over the years, if Napoleon lived today his height would be perceived as someone who is approximately 5’10” – taller than all those guys listed.

Myth #7: The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776

Although we celebrate July 4th, The Declaration of Independence was signed August 2, 1776.

The forefathers responsible actually declared our country’s Independence on July 2, 1776. This led John Adams to believe that July 2nd would be the date that would be celebrated and remembered forever.

July 4, 1776 was simply the date when the Declaration of Independence was approved.
